55. Why hasn’t Africa "developed" as fast as other continents?
Manage episode 304970005 series 2949437
This week's episode explores the question: Why hasn’t Africa "developed" as fast as other continents?
As you can imagine, this is a HUGE, nuanced question. Nevertheless, Joy Malonza (founder of The Down Ballot) and I tackled the question head-on, with zero filter*
Tune in to hear about:
- Africa's patterns of development before the transatlantic slave trade and colonization
- The legacy of colonization in Africa
- How institutions like The Wold Bank and IMF have impacted Africa's development
- Why capitalism doesn't work in Africa (and why rich Africans are not our friends)
- Why socialism may/may not be the answer
